I don't know about the Volcano 9 specifically but this board WILL accomodate an MCX462. I hope that this will give you an idea regarding how much clearance the socket region has.

yeah this is all true
sinks like a AX7 or the volcano 7 and 9 wotn fit at all but the swiftech MCX462 will fit
and rabbit this board may not be made for OCing
but it still has all the options for doing it
it even has the option to up the AGP voltage

Umm...isn't the 8K3AE just an 8K3A with one less PCI slot? If it is, it should be one of the best considering how the OCing heights people they've reached with it.

its more like a 8KHAL (KT266A)
but with the kt333 and some better OC options
and no dip switches

ok guys
the alpha wont fit on this board
however the swiftech will because the edges of the sink have been cut off so to fit around any obsticals in the way of the sink
and btw i used to have a MCX462 with a 50cfm sunon fan on it
and it kicked much ħ§

Yeah, my MCX462 w/ 50CFM Delta did a great job of cooling...best air cooling HSF I've used. My only gripe is with the process of putting it on and taking it off...such a pain!

yeah either of them should be fine dood
I just got my sk7 and it dosen't fit, i trimmed down the cleats and got it to fit but when you install the fanclips they hit the caps.
So i just took the dremmel to the ax7 and cut the last two fins on each side in half and its now tall enough to get over the caps.
so now i have a big lump of sk7 copper i need to do something with, maybe i can find another way to attach the fan.
Also does anyone know if this board reads the temp from the xp internal diode or from under the socket?
